everything that we do is
accelerated.
When He leads you do
something, that means His
strength accompanies that leading.
It is the broken places that
invites His repairing.

Greetings, church. Welcome
back to the study of God’s Word.
The most exciting study
that you can ever be involved
in. You know, I want all of
you to become like people like
revelation addicts, you know,
you are looking for fresh
revelations from God’s Word,
especially pertaining to
Christ, the wonderful person
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Because very soon, He’ll be
the centre of this earth. The
whole world’s government will
all revolve around the Lord
Jesus Christ. He’s gonna come
back and rule from Jerusalem.
And we’re looking forward for
the rapture, Amen. It can
happen anytime. He’ll rapture
us first, and then seven years
of tribulation on earth, at
the end of which He’ll return.
And we’ll come with Him, to
rule with Him. Praise the
Lord. And friends, Bible
prophesies about the coming of
the Lord, and the millennial
rule of Jesus Christ is
abundant throughout the Old
Testament. And we know that
every other prophecy of His
first coming have all been
fulfilled. Everything, to the
very location where He’ll be
born, the tribe from which He
will come. The nature of His
birth, the virgin birth. And
the manner of His death. All
that is prophesied in detail,
even the fact that He’ll be
pierced and crucified, at that
time prophesised when they did
not practise that. You know,
the Jewish means of execution
at that time was by stoning,
alright. It was a later-on
invention of the Romans…the
Phoenicians and then the
Romans that came later. Yet,
the prophet who lived before
crucifixion was invented,
prophesied that Jesus would
be pierced. And all that has
come to pass. So we know that
there are also prophesies of
His second coming. And some
people confuse the two. No,
there’s the first coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ. He came
to bring grace, Amen,
forgiveness of sins. And He
died on the cross for that
perfect work to remove all our
sins. And to cause us to stand
before God; holy, blameless,
in the righteousness of God in
Christ Jesus, Amen. That’s the
first coming of our Lord. You
know when Jesus preached that
His first coming in the
synagogue, in His hometown
Nazareth, He came to the part
where He says, “The Spirit of
the Lord is upon me.” And He
said, “…to preach the
acceptable year of the Lord.”
And then He closed the book.
Now where He closed, actually,
in our Bibles, is a comma. The
following words is, “…the day
of vengeance of our God.” But
you see, He closed the book
on, “the acceptable year of
the Lord,” because His first
coming is to bring grace,
Amen, not judgement, Amen.
It’s to bring grace. And He
died on the cross, Amen, to
give us that forgiveness of
sins, and salvation, and right
standing with God. So that has
been accomplished, He has
come. We are still in the
acceptable year of the Lord.
We are still in this
dispensation of grace, the
acceptable year of the Lord.
And the Bible says that He
said, “the acceptable year.”
“Year” is longer than the day.
Thank God it’s only the “day”
of vengeance. “Day” is
limited. So, we know there is
going to be seven years of
tribulation. And during that
time is the day of judgement,
the day of the Lord. And we
know He’s going to come and
execute judgement at the end
of it. And upon all the
ungodly, and upon all the
people who have rebelled
against Him. We know that He
will do a clean sweep. But the
day of judgement is coming at
the end of the seven years of
tribulation. But praise God,
we are still in the
dispensation of grace and God
is still reaching out to
people that are lost. And
that’s what Amos was
prophesising in Amos 9:11.
Once again, let’s look at the
Scripture verse. “In that day
will I raise up the tabernacle
of David that is fallen, and
close up the breaches thereof;
and I will raise up his ruins,
and I will build it as in the
days of old. That they may
possess the remnant of Edom,
and of all the heathen,” or in
the Hebrew, Gentiles goyim,
“which are called by My name,
saith the LORD that doeth
this.” Notice that when God
raises the tabernacle of
David, and repairs all its
breaches, all its damages, God
says, “In that day, I will
also cause My people to
possess the remnant of Edom.”
But notice that in the Hebrew,
He uses the word, “Edom,”
right? The word “Edom” is
used. And that tells us also
of the truth about Obed-Edom,
and the blessing on Obed-Edom.
Because Obed-Edom…his name is
Obed-Edom. And here we have
the remnant of Edom. So I
think there is a suggestion
here; divine hint, if you
would, of the story of
Obed-Edom. Just like Obed-Edom
is a Gentile…he’s actually a
Philistine. He’s a Gittite,
the Bible tells us, and a
Gentile. And he actually
enjoyed the blessings of God
during the dispensation of the
law that was given to Israel.
And yet he enjoyed the
blessings of God upon himself,
upon all that he had, and upon
his household. And the Bible
says that when God raises a
tabernacle of David; which He
is doing right now all over
the world, especially
throughout this year. He has
given us this specific Word
that He is repairing all the
breaches and all the damaged
areas of the tabernacle of
David. And the tabernacle of
David is actually a picture of
the church of Jesus Christ
that God is building, the
house of God in these last
days, of which you and I are
members of, okay. And then He
says that, when He raises up
the tabernacle of David, He’s
gonna repair all the broken
places. And right after the
first breach…and the word
breach here is the same word
used in the story of Uzzah,
when he put forth his hand to
touch, to steady the ark; and
he fell dead. The Lord stuck
him dead, the Bible tells us
that. And David was afraid,
and he called that place
Perez, which is “breached”.
Uzzah, Peraz-Uzzah; or you can
say “the breaking of
strength”. Because Uzzah; his
name means “strength”. And God
is breaking human strength.
Because human strength is
man’s pride. And man does not
know that he’s not able. Man
does not know that, as a
sinner, he cannot. Jesus says,
“Without Me, you can do
nothing.” And yet we say, “No,
I don’t really believe that. I
believe that there are some
things I can’t do. Maybe the
big stuff, like the miracles
and all that. But I’m sure I
can do something, not
nothing?” But no, Jesus says,
“Without Me, you can do
nothing.” And yet, the life
even of believers, is like, we
are always putting forth, you
know, even in the area of
living a life glorifying God.
If we are using Uzzah, we are
using strength, alright. Then,
we are sure doomed to fail.
Just like Israel boasted at
the foot of Mount Sinai, even
before God gave them the Ten
Commandments; they boasted and
said, “All that God says, we
are able to do it. And we will
do it.” Na’aseh, right, in the
Hebrew. “We can do it, we will
do it.” And man presume on his
own strength, which he had
none. The Bible says Christ
died for all of us who are
without strength. And yet man
presume on his own strength,
on his own righteousness which
he had none. And at the foot
of Mount Sinai, the moment man
boasted in his strength, the
very next thing you see is the
golden calf. Which is what,
the Ten Commandments, the very
first commandment is “You
shall have no other gods
before Me.” And man worshipped
that golden calf. So you see,
just putting your strength to
want to keep the law produces
the opposite. And that’s the
very thing about not being
under law. We’re not saying,
become lawless. Become without
morality in your life. Without
holiness…no, no of course not.
But we are saying that the
moment you try to keep the
law, then you’re destined to
fail. You’re destined to
produce the opposite. Not the
law is giving you strength to
sin. But the law is revealing
that you cannot. So when you
try to keep it, it’s like the
mirror. Nothing wrong with the
mirror. If you look at the
mirror and you see ugly, the
mirror did not make you ugly,
okay. The mirror is just a
reflection of revealing who
you are. So if you go to the
law, and you try to keep the
law, it’s going to reveal who
you are. And what you are is a
sinner. And you cannot but
sin. And that, even for the
believer, if you try to keep
the law, the law is designed…
the strength of sin is the
law. And God tells the
believer, “You are not under
the law. But you are under
grace.” And what’s going to
happen when that happens? When
you are truly under grace, sin
will have no dominion over
you. It is amazing that, for
David, he actually allowed the
tabernacle of Moses to exist
on Mount Gibeon at the same
time, together with…on Mount
Zion; his tabernacle, the
tabernacle of David, where he
brought the ark to. You know,
when David brought back the
ark to Mount Zion, alright, at
the same time, over at Mount
Gibeon, six miles away, the
tabernacle of Moses was there,
with all it’s furnitures, with
all it’s holy furnitures. The
bronze altar, the lever. And
everything to do with the
tabernacle of Moses was there.
Here we have a picture of the
tabernacle of Moses, and we
can see all these was brought
to Mount Gibeon, just about
six miles away from Jerusalem,
from Mount Zion. And if you
look into the holy place,
let’s step into the holy
place; this is what you see,
in the tabernacle of Moses.
And there is a veil. A veil
means…it speaks of…there is a
separation between God, a holy
God, a thrice-holy God and
sinful man. So man can only go
in, the high priest can only
go in once a year. And that,
with the blood of another,
Amen. Innocent blood, the
blood of a lamb, the blood of
the bulls and goats, is the
only reflection of the blood
of Jesus. And only by that
means can he enter the Holy of
Holies. Whereas for the
tabernacle of David, if you
look at the tabernacle of
David; there is no veil,
right? There’s just open
worship, worshipping God,
Amen. Coming before God
boldly. None of them afraid of
dying, because the Bible says
that having therefore boldness
to enter the Holy of Holies,
the holiest, by the blood of
Jesus, in a new and living
way. A new and living way.
It’s as if to say, whereas the
old way… The tabernacle of
Moses; the more you come,
chances of you committing a
sin in thought, word or deed
is great, therefore chances of
you dying is great, okay. So
the more you come, chances are
you may die. And hence the
phrase used a lot in the
tabernacle of Moses; God says,
“Don’t do this, lest you die.
Don’t come near, lest you die.
Don’t do that, lest you die.”
Whereas, in the new approach,
praise the Lord; shed by the
blood of Jesus Christ,
inaugurated by His flesh,
praise the Lord, at the cross;
God has opened up. In the
moment Jesus died, at the
moment Jesus gave up the
Spirit, the Bible says God
tore the veil in the temple,
Amen. Indicating what? The
separation between sinful man
and a holy God is no longer
there. It’s as if God stepped
out. I believe it’s not so
much for us to step in, it’s
God stepping out and welcoming
sinful man into His arms.
Because right now God has a
righteous foundation to
receive sinners into His holy
presence. And man can come in.
in fact, the more you come,
the Bible says, “Today we come
in a new and living way.”
Living way means it’s a new
and living way, as opposed to
the old and dying way. New and
living way means the more you
come, the more you come alive.
The more you come alive. So if
there are areas in your life
where death has set in. For
example, death setting into
the emotions, into the mind is
reflected in a state of
depression. It’s a form of
death. When a marriage breaks
down, it’s a form of death. We
think of death as only the
ultimate when your heart stops
beating. But for God, when God
talks about death, it is areas
of death. Not just the
cessation of physical human
life, but death to God…even
after the first death, there
is also a second death; the
lake of fire in hell. So God
talks about death in its
different forms, and Jesus
came…listen…Jesus came to
release us from sin, as well
as also from death. Because
death is a consequence of sin.
Hallelujah. And God sees death
as an enemy. The Bible says
the last enemy to be put under
His feet is death. That is
physical death. But meanwhile
there are forms of death that
try to come in. So in the
story of David bringing back
the ark, right, there was a
death in Uzzah. Uzzah
experienced death because of
what his name implies,
alright. God hides truths and
all that, especially in the
Old Testament in names. You
can see in names that there
are truths that God wants to
reveal to us, Amen. And we see
that Uzzah; his name means
“strength”. So man puts forth
his strength and the result is
death. It is always, today,
when you put forth your
strength, you experience death
in that area. When you try to
save something with your own
strength, the result is the
opposite of what you want to
see, okay. Death comes in. And
death in relationships means,
you know, you are no more on
good terms. You are no more
flowing in a good relationship
with that person. That means
death has come in, okay. So
death can come in any area of
our life. And there is an
offering called the offering
of the red heifer, the ashes
of the red heifer, in the book
of Numbers. Very interesting,
it is not numbered among the
offerings of Leviticus, but in
the book of Numbers. Why?
Because the book of Numbers is
the book of wandering. And
when Israel is wandering in
the wilderness, they might
touch a dead carcass. They
might touch a bone. And God
says all these are tokens of
death. So today…you know I
remember one time, I picked up
a book in a book shop. And
it’s all about the occult, you
know, it tells you about
visualisation and things like
that. But the author knows how
to drop a few verses here and
there, you know, talking
about, “as a man thinks in his
heart, so is he”, “if he can
believe all things are
possible”; just to make it
sound Christian. And I thought
it was a Christian book at
first…this was many years ago.
And I picked it up, and I sort
of read through it and all
that. And then when I realised
it was occultic actually, with
some Scripture verses, I
closed the book. I remember
Pastor Mark was with me in
that bookstore and I closed
the book. But after I closed
the book, I was walking around
in the store with him and our
families were elsewhere, they
were shopping and I was
spending time with Pastor
Mark. I felt like there was a
headache. I had a heavy
headache, you know, it was
very strong headache and it’s
not normal. And I went to the
restroom and I prayed and
asked God for healing. And I
heard God’s voice telling me,
“Son, this headache is because
you touch death.” I say, “How,
how did I touch death?” And
that’s the very word that God
used, “You touched death.” I
said, “How did I touch death?
You read that book”. And I, I
wasn’t listening to His Spirit
telling me, put the book down.
There was no green light.
There was no, in fact there
was an inner forbidding, not
to touch the book. So, there
are things like this, friends.
And you know something? You
know, I told the Lord, “Lord I
receive Lord anew, the
cleansing blood of Jesus. And
I receive Lord right now, the
liberation Lord, that come
from the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ, Jesus, I thank
You, Lord Jesus, that, that
there, you know, the ashes of
the red heifer is actually a
picture of the blood of Jesus
and, and, you know, the final
form of a being in this case,
the cow, the female cow is
actually ashes. When you burn
it up, it becomes ashes. Ashes
means finished work. So, you
need to apply the work of
Jesus upon the situation. So,
I applied the work of Jesus
and you know, what happened?
Just like that, the headache
left, the headache just gone.
Amen. And there’s a
restoration of life. I went
back to God in a new and
living way. Amen. And I
received that life. The law of
the spirit of life in Christ
Jesus has set me free from the
law of sin and death. Amen!
And that’s exactly what
happened. So, we can touch
death unknowingly. So, there
was death in the story of
Uzzah and David call it the
breach of Uzzah, or literally
you put the meaning of the
name and all that together,
the breaking of human
strength, the breaking of
strength. So, you look at what
is happening around the world
today for the past two years.
Alright, I believe the Lord is
allowing, you know, He has no
sickness or disease to send,
you know, Jesus says, “He,
that has seen Me, has seen the
Father.” And what do you see
Jesus doing in the gospels?
Always going about doing good,
healing all that were oppress
of the devil. But when man
become so proud and man does
not see their need of God, God
can just lift one finger of
His protection. And friend,
that’s a breaking of strength.
Whose strength? Man’s strength
that man might see his need of
God’s strength, God’s power in
his life. You see friend, for
us, we should rejoice. When we
see areas in our life where
God is breaking our strength,
it is because these are the
areas He wants to manifest His
strength. The apostle Paul
says it like this. When he
prayed to the Lord, because
there was an area that he
doesn’t seem to find victory
over. There was an area in his
life that he does not see a
breakthrough. And he prayed to
the Lord three times, that
this area, this, this thorn in
the flesh, and it’s not a
disease by the way, all right.
I can prove that to you where
the Bible must interpret
Bible. And when Bible talks
about thorns in your sides and
all that in the Old Testament,
is referring to the enemies,
physical enemies. And Paul
said in that story, in that
passage, that a messenger of
Satan was assigned to him to
frustrate his ministry to
frustrate his areas of service
to God. And he plead with God
that this might be removed out
of his life, that this
messenger of Satan will be
bound completely. But God said
this to him, God said “My
grace is sufficient for you
for My strength…” And that
word strength there is dunamis
in the Greek by which we get
our word, dynamo, dynamite.
God says My dynamite strength
is made perfect in your
weakness, not in your
strength, in your weakness. So
actually, we should celebrate
all the areas of our lives
that are weak. You know, human
nature is such that we always
want to show our strong side
to people. We always want to
show our good side to people.
And that’s why, if you’re
always hooked on social media,
you look at other people’s
Instagram, where it’s
specially curated to present
their best self, the best part
of their life. And it’s all,
it’s all done in such a way,
they’ll never show you their
areas of weakness. They’ll
only show you their good parts
and it’s especially curated to
present that. But friend, you
know, if you’re into that, let
me just tell you, don’t waste
your time. Okay. It’s all the
same story. Don’t waste your
time. Your time is too
precious. Your life is too
precious. Time is passing by.
Let’s use it for the glory of
God. Hallelujah. Amen. Redeem
time. Be wise. Amen. Buy back
time. Redeem time means, buy
back the time. And one area I
see people involve in is
social media. They’re really
addicted to it. Free yourself
today in the name of the Lord,
Jesus Christ! Amen! As sons
and daughters of God, we can
always rejoice that it is in
the areas of our weakness that
God’s strength, God’s dynamite
power can be manifested, can
be released. So if that’s so,
let’s look at all the areas of
our weakness and you know what
Paul said right after that?
Rather, I will glory, most
gladly, I will rather boast,
the word “glory” there is “I
will boast in my infirmities,
in my weaknesses for when I am
weak, then I am strong.” So,
look at the areas of your life
that you are weak in. Amen and
rejoice. Not for that
weakness, but because rejoice,
because that area of weakness
allows God’s power to flow in
that area. Praise the Lord,
you know, I grew up even in a
secondary school, in high
school, right, with a
stuttering problem. I could
not string a sentence together
without stuttering. The same
teacher, I still remember will
come in and make me stand up
just for the sheer fun of
seeing me stammer. I felt
embarrassed because in a co-ed
school, you know, you have
girls there and you are very
sensitive. And at that age,
you know, to what the opposite
sex thinks about you and the
girls will be laughing and
that really hurts. My ears
would turn red. And I tried
all kinds of device. I read
different psychological books,
you know, to how to overcome
this stammering. And the more
I tried, listen, the more I
tried, the worse I got, the
more I tried to not stammer, I
stammered. Until one day,
after I became a believer, the
Lord said to me this, “Son
give me your area of
weakness.” And I realised that
the most glaring and the most
prominent weakness in my life
was this stammering. And I
said to the Lord, “Lord, if
You’ll have this stammering,
right? Whatever, you know, if
You can remove this stammering
from my life, I will gladly
serve You.” And I felt
honestly, I felt pity for the
Lord because I felt like He
didn’t get a good deal, Amen,
to have me it’s not a good
deal. But I said, “Lord, if
You can do something with this
stammering, I give you this
stammering.” Now God, listen
is not as if God removed that
stammering. But what happened
is that in the very area of
stammering, God actually
released His power. And when
God released His power is not
something that you are always
physically conscious of it.
You can feel it. In fact, I
felt my weakness. I felt my
stammering, but after I gave
it to the Lord, it was amazing
that I can say a few words and
that word, those words are
words that, that carried
impact with others. I would
think that I gave a speech in
class or before a crowd, and I
felt like I did not do a good
job, but later on they’ll come
back and say, well, that
really impacted us, that
really spoke to us. And then I
was asked to preach in a, in a
youth service. And I preached
my first message. I still
remember, I preach on the
power of the name of Jesus.
That was my first sermon. Of
course, before that I was
asked to preach in a Sunday
school and my audience were
children. I would preach to
them and I’ll find that they
were listening attentively,
even children that were, you
know, naturally mischievous
and active, over kind of
hyperactive. They would sit
down and listen. And I
realised that something is
happening to my words. It
seems like God is putting His
power, His dunamis on my
words. And then when I was
asked to preach to the youth
service and talked about the
power of the name of Jesus,
and there was a release of
God’s power to heal bodies
even. And I was amazed because
I don’t feel in and of myself,
I don’t feel the strength what
I felt physically and
emotionally was weakness. But
what was released was the
power of God. So that sort of
gave me a new mindset, about
areas of weaknesses in our
life. And that’s the same for
you. If you have a lot of
weaknesses, then a lot of
God’s power can be released in
your life. A lot more of that
power can be released because
you’ve got more weaknesses.
So, rejoice in all your areas
of weakness, in all your areas
of breaking, God’s going to
rebuilt, not in other areas,
but in the very area of your
weakness. In the very area
where there’s a breaking of
strength. Amen. There’ll be
the blessing of Obed Edom,
which happened right after the
story of the Perez Uzzah,
Uzzah died. The blessing of
God came on Obed Edom because
David moved the ark to Obed
Edom. So, it seems like, you
know, God’s heart is always
into blessing, but we must do
it God’s way. If we put human
strength into the whole thing,
God will not give His glory to
another. If God allows you to
have the victory because of
your strength, who gets the
glory? You know, you will get
the glory. You might say, oh,
it’s all God and all that. But
inwardly, you know, you put in
the strength. You’ll want to
share the glory. That’s human
nature. So, God will give His
glory to no other but Himself.
Amen. Amen to God be all the
glory. I always say it like
this, and I’m saying this
reverently, if God wants to
get all the glory, let Him do
all the work. Amen. Let Him do
all the work, in me, through
me, for me. Amen. So, it
doesn’t mean that your life
become a life of passivity, a
life of laziness. No. In fact,
just like Jesus, He was so
active in three and a half
years. He finished all the
work, the Father assigned Him.
Amen! And at the cross He
cried, “It is finished.” So
likewise, we can be restful
and yet everything that we do.
Amen, like in this year of
rest and acceleration,
everything that we do is
accelerated. We are resting.
Amen, the more you rest and
rest there means, rest from
your human strength and
trusting the Lord. So rest is
not inactivity. Rest is Spirit
directed activity, because
when the Spirit of God leads
you usually in those areas
that He leads you, are areas
whereby you can only do it by
Him. Amen. You can only do it
by His strength. When He leads
you to do something, that
means His strength accompanies
that leading. You cannot put
forth your strength because
you are following His leading,
but in other areas where you
are not led like David, he was
not led in the area of
carrying the ark. The ark is
supposed to be carried on the
shoulders of the, of the
priests. And yet he allowed it
to be done the Philistines’
way, the world’s way and what
happened? Death. So likewise,
when you follow the Spirit,
you will always have the
strength of God accompanying
your tasks. But whenever you
do it your way, your strength,
Amen, deviating from the path
of the leading of God’s
Spirit, you will find that the
result is death. You see when
David came to take the ark
from Obed Edom’s house, the
Bible tells us that the
Levites were carrying now that
they got it right. Amen, they
would carry on their
shoulders. And the Bible says,
“God helped the Levites.” Now
for Uzzah, because it’s on the
oxcart, there’s no record of
God helping the oxen, because
it wasn’t God’s way, it
wasn’t, God’s leading, but
here you have the phrase, “God
helped the Levites.” Now in
the Jewish writings, they say
that the moment the ark
touched the shoulders of the
priests and it’s a very heavy
ark, alright the ark of the
Covenant is very heavy, about
288 pounds. And the moment it
touched the shoulders of the
priests is as if it lifted
them, they felt light and
easy. Does that remind you of
what Jesus said? “My yoke is
easy. Take My yoke upon you.
My yoke is easy and My burden
is light.” Amen. You know,
people think that to serve the
Lord is hard. That’s what the
devil wants you to think.
Actually, the Bible says the
way of the transgressors, is
hard, is hard! If you are
addicted to gambling or you
are addicted to alcoholism and
all that. Is hard, it’s a hard
life. Though, your way is
hard. You cannot sleep
properly. You don’t have the
peace. You are stressed all
the time. You know, you’re
throwing up. You’re not
conscious. You don’t have the
full use of the faculties of
your mind. It’s hard. It’s a
hard life and your
relationship with your family
is hard. Everything becomes
hard. The way of the
transgressors, the way of the
sinners is hard. Don’t think
for one moment they are
enjoying their life. Amen.
They are finding it a hard
life. But to serve the Lord,
the devil wants to put the
whole thing. You know, sin is
fun. Sin is easy, you know,
there is such a thing as
pleasure of sin for a season.
It doesn’t last, but joy
unspeakable, is for all
eternity. That joy you
experience, whenever you do
things the way God wants you
to and you’re led by the
Spirit, you find there’s a joy
and there’s a peace. In fact,
the Bible says it like this,
“That David brought the Ark
out right from the house of
Obed Edom, he brought it out
with gladness.” Hallelujah!
You don’t find that phrase,
okay of gladness where
earlier, before Uzzah story.
Right, but here you find
there’s gladness. For the
first time you see the word
“gladness”. Why? Because he’s
doing it God’s way. I’m sure
you’ve experienced that so
many times. Amen. When you are
led by the Lord and you do
things the way God wants you
to do it. Amen. There’s a joy,
there’s a gladness and I’m
telling you, my friend, all
the billions in the world
cannot buy you that. “My yoke
is easy and My burden is
light.” Don’t let the devil
brainwash you into thinking
that the Christian life is a
hard life, okay, the sinner’s
life is an enjoyable,
fun-filled life. It’s the
opposite. The way of the
transgressors is hard, Amen,
the way of the Lord Jesus, and
He says, “I come, that you
might have life and have it
more abundantly, joy
unspeakable, full of glory.”
“My yoke is easy and My burden
is light.” Is there
responsibilities for us to
fulfil? Is there a service for
us to execute in the kingdom
of God? Yes, there is. But His
yoke is easy, and His
responsibilities, His burden,
is light. Amen. Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord. It’s like,
you know, driving a car
without power steering.
Remember those days when those
cars without power steering?
You really got to turn around
just to make a right turn, and
you’ve got to use a lot of
effort. But with power
steering, you just have to
steer the direction and the
power takes over. That’s how I
like to describe flowing with
the Spirit. The moment you
take the direction the Holy
Spirit is leading you to,
Amen, or certain actions He
wants you to execute, the
moment you obey Him on that,
you follow His flow, Bang! The
power steering sets in, Amen.
His dunamis sets in, and you
are borne along. It’s as if
the yoke and the
responsibilities become light,
easy. Hallelujah. Praise the
Lord. So, when we look at the
Lord Jesus, and we meditate,
and we’re conscious of His
love for us, we end up loving
Him, and that love propels us
to love other people. The
Bible use this word, “The love
of Christ constraints us.” You
know, if you’re swimming up a
river, and all of a sudden
there’s like a sudden gush of
flood waters coming towards
you. I don’t care how strong
you are, you may have biceps
like Pastor Lawrence, you
know, but the more you try to
swim upstream, you’ll be borne
along by the currents, by the
strong waters, right, that’s
the word “constrain”. It is
like, it constraints you. The
love of Christ constraints us.
We don’t do things in the
Christian life obligingly,
alright, in a hard way. No,
no. we do things in a
constrained way. And what’s
the thing that constraints us?
The love of Christ – that
becomes the motivating force
behind everything that we do
when we’re conscious of His
love for us, we love our wives
as Christ loves the church. We
love our children, we love
those around us, and that’s
why the Bible says, “We love
because He first loved us.”
Amen. He is the first cause,
and the effect is that we love
everyone around us, Amen. But
if the first cause has been
removed, the devil has
successfully caused you to
lose sight of Jesus and His
love for you, then it will cut
off all these areas as well.
Okay? So, in the last days, as
God rebuild all the breaches,
and notice the word there is
plural, not just one area of
break like the breaking of
human strength. But every
other area that is broken and
needs repair, needs rebuilding
in our lives. This year, this
year, the Lord is going to do
that in your life, Amen. As He
rebuilds the church as a whole
all over the world, I believe
that God is right now in the
process of rebuilding. And let
me just say something about
God’s rebuilding and God’s
restoring. When God rebuilds
it is always greater in
quality or quantity. That’s
His nature. Throughout the
Bible, it’s always, the
restoration of God is always
greater than what you have
lost. Praise the Lord. Even
though, the Bible says, “I
restored that which I took not
away.” God is not the one who
took away from you. The Lord
Jesus said, “The devil, the
thief comes to steal, kill and
destroy, but I’ve come that
you might have life, and have
it more abundantly.” So,
friend, I just want to
encourage you, right, this
year, let’s endeavour, okay,
to enter into rest. Notice,
when I say, “Let’s endeavour.”
Some people say, “I’ll do my
best. Okay, I’m going to
exert.” What? Human strength?
No, that’s not the way. The
Bible use the word, it’s an
oxymoron, that sentence is
really a contradiction, it
seems, in terms, but it says,
“Let us labour, therefore, to
enter the rest.” There’s a
labour to enter the rest. So,
we work at resting. We labour
for what? Resting. So, our
problem, if we know that our
flesh is the problem, for
example, let’s say you have an
area, anger is your problem,
okay. So, watch out for the
first reaction. If someone
says something and then your
first reaction is always to
hit back or to say something
or to react, don’t be a person
that just reacts, okay. Don’t
let people push your button so
easily. Don’t be so easily
manipulated or controlled. You
know, people say, “Watch this,
I can push this button and
he’ll get angry.” Don’t become
someone, easily manipulated,
okay, be independent, in a
healthy way in the Lord. Amen.
Let the Lord be the one to
lead you and guide you. So, in
your reaction, for example, if
you’re angry, what do you do?
Inwardly rest, say, “Lord,
You’ve got this. Rest. Amen.
Just rest. Praise the Lord.”
The moment you feel like
saying, just rest, rest in the
Lord. And you’ll be surprised,
when you stop trying to be a
Christian in that area, you
end up with the life of Christ
flowing in you. The more you
try to love someone, for
example, you’ve got a problem
with a colleague, you know, at
work, and you know, he always
seems to say something that
provokes you, or he will say
something that rubs you the
wrong way, what do you do?
“I’ll do my best to love him.
Tomorrow I’ll say something
nice to him. I’ll purposely
say something nice to him.”
No, that’s not the way. The
way of the Lord is, don’t even
try. Say, “Lord, You’ve got
this. Thank You for Your love
flowing in my heart. Thank
You, Lord, I will just follow
Your Spirit.” Don’t even try
to love him. And guess what?
The very next day, you’ll be
loving him even without trying
to. In fact, you will be
loving him sometimes
unconsciously, only to find
that at the end of the day,
“Wow, I didn’t lose temper, I
didn’t lose my cool. It seems
like the Lord took over.” And
that’s exactly what happens.
That, my friend, is the
Christian life. So, we have to
look at areas of our weakness.
Already your weakness is
helping you to break down that
strength, right? That’s the
idea of weakness. A weakness
means breaking down of
strength. So, your areas of
weakness actually is helping
you. So, the more you see
those areas. But none of us
are so free from our own
strength as we think we are.
You know, it’s like a drowning
person. You cannot save him
until he’s completely void,
destitute of strength. As long
as he has strength still, he
will pull you down with him.
He will struggle against your
help. So, we’re not as weak as
we think we are. We need God’s
intervention in our lives. So,
the more we rest, the more we
say, “I’m not going to put in
the strength.” It is not a
life of laziness. It is not a
life of passivity. It’s a most
active life, because now, the
power that energises you is
not your own. It’s like the
burning bush. It is burning
and burning, yet, it’s not
consumed. You’re not burnt
out. You’re burning all the
time. Burn up, my friend. And
people will come and watch you
burn. Amen. Burn up for the
glory of God, but not burnt
out. Hallelujah. Praise the
Lord. Now, the Obed-Edom’s
blessing. The Bible tells us,
we learnt last week the secret
found in his name, as well as
what David did. One of the
first things David did that he
didn’t do before Uzzah’s
death, when he brought the ark
from Gilead-Yarim, was to
offer blood sacrifice, right,
which he did, which means, the
name ‘Obed-Edom’, the servant
of Edom. Edom can also mean
mankind, like I said just now,
when the Lord restores the
tabernacle of David, the name
of Obed-Edom is there, “That
they may possess the remnant
of Edom,” right. And here,
Acts 15 tells us, in Acts 15
when James quoted Amos, he
says that the rest of mankind
may seek the Lord. So, it’s
the same verse, it’s the same
quotation. But notice that
where it says “Edom”, James
says “mankind”, because Edom
is also the word where you get
the word “Adam”. Adam. But
notice, “Edom” is left there
in Amos’ prophecy, to remind
us of Obed-Edom and his
blessings. Which means, when
God restores the tabernacle of
David in these last days, He’s
also going to restore family
blessings. Receive that in
your life, in your family’s
life. Amen. If there are areas
that are broken, right now,
rejoice because, boy, God’s
strength, God’s blessings are
going to flow in those very
areas. Amen. If you’ll not
give up, if you’ll believe God
and start rejoicing, not in
those broken areas alone, but
in the fact that His strength
and His blessing can flow in
all the broken places. It’s
the broken places that invites
His repairing, His rebuilding
that He has promised. Praise
the Lord. Thank You, Jesus. 2
Samuel 6 tells us, “The ark of
the Lord remain in Obed-Edom
the Gittite three months, and
the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and
all his household.” Now, if
you look carefully in the
Hebrew, here is something very
interesting in the Hebrew, I’m
going to extract the part of
the same verse just now and
show you the Hebrew. Hebrew
reads from right to left. It
says, “And blessed the Lord,
alef tav, at Obed-Edom.”
Notice that alef tav is not
translated? It’s as if it’s a
signature there. Alef tav. The
first letter of the Hebrew
alphabet is alef, the very
last one is tav. When you put
them together, it’s like
saying, “I am the “a” and “z”.
Or Jesus says, “I am the alpha
and omega.” Alpha is the first
letter of the Greek alphabet,
and the last one is omega. So,
the first letter is alpha, and
the last one is omega. When
Jesus appeared to John, His
disciple John, Jesus actually
in His resurrected form says,
“I am the alpha and the omega,
the beginning and the end,”
says the Lord, “who is, who
was and who is to come, the
Almighty.” Notice He says, “I
am the alpha and omega.” Now,
this is Greek, alright,
because our new testament is
translated from Greek. But
Jesus would not have spoken
Greek to His fellow Jewish
disciple, John. He would have
spoken Hebrew, right, He would
have said this, “I am alef and
I am tav.” The first letter,
and the last letter of the
Hebrew alphabet, which is
actually the alef tav of this
word here, the Lord, who is
this Lord? Alef tav. Jesus
blessed Obed-Edom. When Jesus
is in the centre of your life,
the blessings of God flows.
Praise the Lord. Thank You,
Jesus. And if you look at the
very first verse, Genesis 1:1,
the very first verse of the
entire Bible, Genesis chapter
1, verse 1, it says,
“Bereshit, in the beginning,
bara elohim et ha’Shamayin
v’et ha’aretz.” In the
beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth.
Bereshit bara Elohim et,
notice alef, tav? ha’Shamayin
v’et ha’aretz. So, God is
saying here, very clearly, in
the beginning created God,
alef tav, is untranslated, the
heavens and the earth. This is
how it appears in the Hebrew
Bible, and it’s the very first
verse of the entire Bible. And
notice, that right in the
centre, there are seven words,
exactly seven words. By the
way, this is the inspiration
of Scripture. All Scripture is
God-breathed, and number seven
in the Scripture is the number
of perfection. If you look at
the number of words here, not
in the English, but in the
Hebrew, the original, the
Hebrew, there are exactly even
words, alright, bereshit, one,
created, all the way to the
end of the earth, exactly
seven words, okay? Now, the
centre word is alef tav, that
is Jesus’ signature. It is
untranslated. It’s like, you
know, who is the one that
created the heavens and the
earth? Our Lord Jesus, the
alef tav, the alpha omega, the
first and the last. He is the
One. Praise God. And by the
way, if He is the alpha, and
He is the omega. Jesus has the
last word. Amen! Praise the
Lord! He is the first and He
is the last. Hallelujah. So,
here, we see seven words. If
you look exactly at the Hebrew
letters, if you count each of
the letters, it’s exactly 28.
And what is 28? Seven, again
multiples of seven. Seven
times four. Seven, seven,
seven, seven. So, you’ll find,
seven, by the way, seven, by
the way, seven is all over the
first verse of the Bible.
There are about 30 seven
multiples and things to do
with seven, alright, in the
very first verse of the Bible.
Which goes to show, friend,
that the Scripture is all
inspired of God. Amen. And the
very fact the Bible puts alef
tav, His Son’s name, His Son’s
signature right in the centre,
that tells us that the Lord
wants our lives to centre
around Jesus Christ, our
family life, to centre around
Jesus Christ. Amen. In
everything that we do, Jesus
is in the centre. The Bible
says, “All things were made by
Him.” So, when He says, “In
the beginning God created.”
Who created? Who is this God
who created? Alef tav. Because
the Bible says about Jesus,
all things were made by Him
and without Him, nothing was
made that was made. Amen. He
is the creator of all things.
Praise the Lord. Thank You,
Lord Jesus. Amen. And when He
is in the centre, another
verse in the Bible says, “In
Him, all things consist or all
things are held together.” You
know, you look at the atom.
Right at the core of every
matter is the atom. Right but
when you look at the atom,
they are supposed to split
apart. You know, all the
protons, neutrons and all
that. You look carefully.
There is a force that man is
not able to pin-point. It is
beyond them. They can come
right down to the atom, but
they cannot tell you what is
the force that holds the atom
together. Because naturally,
based on all scientific laws,
they are supposed to repel
each other. Yet there is a
force that holds them
together. The Bible says, “In
Christ, all things are held
together.” Literally, in Him,
all things are held together.
He made all things and for
Him, all things are made. So,
when you live your life for
Him, you surrender your family
life to Him, you give your
whole life to Him, what
happens? He holds everything
in your life together.
Whatever area of your life.
You give your health to Him.
You give your career, your
ministry to Him. You give your
whole being to Him. All these
areas are held together. Now,
it is no more based on your
strength holding them
together. Whether it is your
marriage, your business, your
career, your life, your
ministry, your parenting. Now,
you are no more dependent on
your strength. Because why?
Christ has come in. You have
invited Jesus right in the
centre of that area. And you
know what? He holds all things
together. Amen. When you
invite Him into your life, He
holds everything together. It
is when He is no longer the
centre, everything
disintegrates. Like the hub,
the centre of the wheel. When
there is no more hub, all the
spokes will all fall out of
place. Because it is the
centre of the wheel that holds
the spoke in place so that
there is acceleration. Put Him
in the centre, friend. The
centre of your marriage. The
centre of your parenting. The
centre of your career. The
centre of your ministry. The
centre of all that you are
dreaming about the future.
Make sure the Lord is in your
future. Amen. And the Lord
wants us to have this
consciousness that all things
were made by Him. And without
Him was nothing made. And all
things were made for Him, for
His glory. So, when you flow
with God’s pattern, everything
is flowing for you, and not
against you. Amen. You will be
resourced. You will be
charismatised. Amen. You will
be gifted. You will be
anointed. Because everything
that you do is for His glory.
You are now in the pattern of
God. Just like the ark. Put on
the shoulders of the priests
is the proper order. Amen. The
pattern of God. When you
follow God’s pattern,
everything flows in your life.
For you. Not against you.
Praise the Lord. Thank You,
Jesus. Hallelujah. Look at
another verse on parenting.
And this is from the law. God
says, “Therefore, shall you
lay up these, My words, in
your heart and in your soul.
And you shall teach My words
to your children, speaking of
them when thou sittest in
thine house, and when you walk
by the way, when you lie down,
when you rise up. And you
shall write them upon the
doorposts of your house and
upon your gates; that your
days may be (what?)
multiplied, and the days of
your children.” So, God is
saying, “When you are speaking
My words, to your children…”
God says. And notice that it
is not like a, there is a
proper time of teaching the
Bible to my kids. Now I set
aside time. No. I mean it is
good to have those times. But
God is saying just in your
every day life, alright just
follow the flow of the Spirit.
The Bible says when you rise
up, when you lie down, take
the opportunity, as the Lord
leads you, to say something
about Jesus. How do I know
it’s about Jesus and these
words about Jesus, and not
about the law? Even though
superficial reading at that
time refers to the law, but
God hides something here. And
if you look carefully. Let me
finish off first. “That your
days (the result is) your days
may be multiplied.” Notice
that if you do that, God says
your days will be multiplied
and the days of your children.
So, you will have long life
and so will your children. Not
only quantity of life. But
look at this. “… as the days
of heaven upon the earth.” As
the days of heaven upon the
earth. So, not only will you
have quantity of life, you
will have long life. Your days
will be multiplied and the
days of your children. But
they will be days… What is the
point of having a long life,
right, it’s a bad life, it’s
full of evil days, full of bad
days? But God promises that
you will have long life and
your children as well as
those, that life will be
filled with like days of
heaven upon the earth. So, God
tells us that in your
parenting lies also that long
life, that longevity as well
as also the quality of life.
Amen. And let’s delve into the
secrets of this. If you look
carefully, what kind of words
is it? I was saying just now
that it is not just the law,
friend. Here it says in
Deuteronomy. “Therefore, you
shall lay up My words…” But
notice that aleph tav is
there. So, these are words of
Christ. It is not words of the
law. Even though back then,
they will teach the law to
their children. But God
ordained that, for us today in
the new covenant, His Son is
there, you speak words about
Christ. When you spend time
with your children, [Singing]
let’s talk about Jesus, the
King of kings is He. The Lord
of lords supreme, through all
eternity. Just talk about
Jesus. What you learn. From my
sermons, what you learn. From
your personal study, what God
is showing you about His Son.
Talk to your children about
Him. Amen. Tell your children
about Genesis 1:1, that He is
the creator of all things.
Amen. God is the source but
God uses Him to create all
things. The Bible says He is
the creator. Amen. Tell your
children that. And tell your
children how this creator came
to earth in human form and
died on the cross. Whatever
God shows you about Jesus,
share with them. It can be
when you are lying down and
they are near you. It can be
when you are rising up, when
you are walking by the way.
Just in the every day life.
Amen. This is not talking
about a set time. And these
are words about Jesus. Let’s
go on. And the next verse
tells us. “And you shall teach
them, teach them My words.”
Right. But here God puts in
the signature of His Son,
aleph tav. You shall teach
aleph tav to your children,
speaking of them when you sit
in your house when you stand
up, when you walk by the way.”
So, notice what is the key in
the teaching, in the sharing
with your children? We talk
about a lot of things. But
nothing will avail as much as
talking about Jesus. You will
have an impartation when you
talk about Jesus. Even though
they seem like sometimes they
are not interested, or they
would rather talk about their
favourite Pokémon, or
character or some other game
stuff, or avatar figure, or
whatever. But you know what?
Just keep on talking about
Jesus in the normal affairs of
life. The Holy Spirit is the
one that gives the power and
to stick it in their hearts.
The Holy Spirit is the one to
give your words weight with
them. Amen. And you will be
surprised that they are
listening sometimes even
though they appear like they
are not listening. Amen. Share
with them about Jesus. Talk
about what the Lord has shown
you to them. Amen. And it’s
all about Jesus. Praise the
Lord. Amen. Just a little word
here and there will have a
power to bless your children
like nothing you can dream of.
And God promises that your
days will be multiplied and
the days of your children. And
the quality. Like days of
heaven upon the earth. Praise
the Lord. I hope you are
getting all these, my friend.
And it is very interesting
that the one that bless the
house of Obed-Edom, we saw
just now is actually the Lord
Jesus, aleph tav. But when
David heard about how God
bless Obed-Edom, David felt a
bit of jealousy. “Hey, I don’t
want to confine this blessing
to just one man’s house. I
want this to be in my city.
The entire Israel will be
blessed.” So, David came to
take the ark from Obed-Edom’s
house. But then this is what
it says here in the verse. “It
was told King David saying,
‘The Lord has blessed the
house of Obed-Edom and all
that belongs to him because of
the ark of God.’ So, David
went and brought up the ark of
God from the house of
Obed-Edom to the city of David
with gladness.” Can you see
the gladness there? But notice
when David went and brought up
the ark of God, see what it
says in the Hebrew. “When it
came, David brought up aleph
tav, the ark of God.” Jesus is
there. Every time you want to
bring up from a lower place to
a higher place. You want to
bring up Jesus in your life,
you want to exalt, Amen, God’s
blessing is there. There will
be a joy. There will be a
gladness in your heart.
Hallelujah. Amen. If your
heart’s desire… The whole
world is talking about self,
self. How I can profit myself?
How I can profit me and my and
mine? In fact, if you look at
David’s words before Uzza’s
death, you will find, and
during Uzza’s death as well,
you will find him saying ‘we’,
‘I’, ‘me’, ‘my’. He consulted
thousands of people instead of
consulting God, Amen, with his
captains and all that. And all
his leaders. Instead of
consulting God. It’s all about
‘we’, ‘me’, ‘I’, ‘my’. How
shall the ark of God come to
me? You know, It’s all about
‘me’, ‘I’, ‘my’. But when it
comes to the Jesus in the
centre, the ark now is in the
centre, there is joy in
David’s heart. There is
gladness. And every time you
think of bringing up the Lord
Jesus, Jesus is right there in
the centre of that. Amen. And
the Holy Spirit has come to
glorify Jesus. No other name
but the name of Jesus.
Hallelujah. If you do that, my
friend, all the resources of
heaven will come to you. Amen.
How about this year? Find some
areas of ministry. Ask the
Lord for an area of ministry
you can serve His Son in.
Because Jesus said, “If any
man serve Me, him will My
Father honour.” Will you find
that? Amen. Or else you can
consult your care leader and
leaders who are in the church
and ask them for advice. How
can I serve the Lord? Amen, I
want to get involved in
ministry. I want to get
involved in serving the Lord.
And when you serve, you are
not looking to please man so
that they will put your hand
on your shoulders. Or to
please some leaders so that
they can approve of you. No,
no, no. You are looking to
serve Jesus. Whether people
recognise it or not, it is
from Jesus you receive the
reward of the inheritance.
Amen, friend. Praise the Lord.
Thank You, Jesus. Something
happened to the house of
Potiphar when he put Joseph in
the centre. Remember Joseph
came as a slave? But then he
put Joseph in charge of
everything in his house. Let’s
look at that verse. It says,
“From the time (notice from
the time) that he made Joseph
overseer of his house and all
that he has, the Lord blessed
the Egyptian’s house for
Joseph’s sake; and the
blessing of the Lord was on
all that he had, in the house
and the field.” The blessing
of the Lord was on all that he
had. So, when was the time
that the Lord blessed the
Egyptian’s house and all that
he had? From the time Potiphar
made Joseph overseer the
centre of his house and all
that he had. The Lord blessed
the Egyptian’s house for
Joseph’s sake. And the
blessing of the Lord was on
all that he had, in the house
and in the field. And of all
the characters in the Old
Testament, Joseph’s life is a
type of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Loved by his father, rejected
by his brothers, became the
bread of life for the entire
world. It’s all about Jesus.
Jesus, loved by the Father.
Rejected by His Jewish
brothers. Became the bread of
life to the Gentile world. And
friend, it is all about Jesus.
When you put Jesus in the
centre, the overseer, the
centrality of your life, all
heaven, all the power of God,
will start to assist you. You
will be like the Levites. God
help the Levites. And you will
find the help of God in every
area of your life. Praise the
Lord. And you are not left to
your own strength, which will
always frustrate you. Amen. To
God be all the glory and the
praise, friend. Thank You,
Lord Jesus. Someone has been
diagnosed with cancer
recently. And it seems like in
the area of your stomach area
or somewhere there. It could
be the liver. I am seeing an
area right around there. And
God is healing you right now.
You feel the warmth of God,
friend. Go back to the doc…
Receive it in Jesus’ name. Go
back to your doctor. Verify
with them. Amen. And share
with us this testimony. Mark
this day. Amen. And share with
us this testimony. Praise the
name of Jesus. Thank You, Lord
Jesus. There is someone. It
seems like both your hands,
you cannot. It’s like when you
lift your hands above your
shoulders, there is pain and
your movement has been
restricted. Oh friend, right
now, in that very area, God’s
power is flowing. And God is
adjusting. God is restoring.
God is healing, Amen, all that
stiffness, in Jesus’ name,
goes, in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. All the pain
goes in the name of the Lord
Jesus. To God be all the
glory. Praise the name of
Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank
You, Lord Jesus. Someone’s
heart is being healed. I see
like a golden oil being poured
all over your heart. You have
been diagnosed with a heart
condition. And right now, you
feel the warmth of God.
Literally you feel the warmth
of God. And now, you feel
strength reinvigorating your
body. Literally you can feel
the strength. Amen. Friend,
you are the one. Go back to
the doctor and verify your
healing. And share with us.
Amen. Let us know what God has
done. And you know who is
doing all these, friend? Aleph
tav, The Lord Jesus Christ. He
is doing it all right now.
Already, I standby some
testimonies just now to share
with you that happened from
the words of knowledge that
the Lord Jesus gave last week.
And it is all coming in this
week. And total healing. Total
healing. Some of them, right
after they hear the Word, the
healing happened. Okay,
friend, that is you right now,
you are receiving it in Jesus’
name. Thank You, Lord Jesus.
Amen. Praise the Lord. There
is someone who is having a lot
more like floaters in your
eyes and now it is clearing
up. You are seeing like
floaters and now it is
clearing up. The Lord is
healing your eyes. Thank You,
Lord Jesus. Thank You, Lord
Jesus. Someone just… You had
migraine. You had headache
just now when you were
watching this. And, but yet
you persevered watching. And
right now, you feel that the
headache is just dissipating.
It is just… And now it’s gone.
Praise the name of Jesus.
Hallelujah. Thank You, Lord
Jesus. And for the rest of
you, whatever affliction you
have right now, just place
your hand on that afflicted
area. If you are suffering
depression, place your hand on
your mind right now. And right
now, in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, I speak the
restoration of God in all the
areas of your body that needs
healing. In the name of Jesus,
let health spring forth
speedily in your bodies right
now. In the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Not by might,
not by power, but by Your
Spirit, Father, effect a cure
in that very area, Lord, that
they are believing you for. In
Jesus’ name. There it is right
now. You are feeling like a
warmth come on your body.
Receive it. And in the name of
Jesus, I command that spirit
of heaviness that oppresses
your mind. In the name of the
Lord Jesus, to be lifted off
you. In the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. And let the
peace of God, the shalom of
God, reign in your mind. In
the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Amen. Praise the Lord.
Friend, if you have never
received Jesus as your Saviour
and Lord, this is the best
time to put Him in the centre
of your life and see
everything in your life
working together for his
glory. Amen. Praise the Lord.
You know, it’s not all about
us, friend. It is all about
Him. And when we get that
perspective right, we are back
to where true life is. Jesus
says, “He that loses his life
for My sake will find it.” It
is not to lose it permanently.
When you lose your low life,
the Amplified Bible says, you
lose your low life, you will
find the high life in Jesus
Christ. You are about to find
the high life in Jesus. Pray
this prayer with me right now.
Say: Lord Jesus, I thank You
that You died on that cross
for my sins. I thank You, You
rose from the dead, conquering
death for me. Jesus, I confess
Jesus Christ is my Lord, my
Saviour. And Father God, You
are now my Father. I am your
child. And I am greatly
blessed, highly favoured and I
am so loved by You. Thank You,
Father God. In Jesus’ name.
Congratulations, child of God.
You are now in the family of
God. Get ready for the
blessings that came upon
Obed-Edom to come on you and
on your families as well.
Praise the name of Jesus. And
for the rest of you, stand to
your feet. I want to pray that
prayer. For the blessings of
Obed-Edom, Amen, to come on
your life. Even this week,
Amen, let it manifest. Praise
the Lord. Especially in all
the weak areas of your life.
Father, I thank You, Lord, for
everyone under the sound of my
voice. And I ask in the name
of the Lord Jesus, this coming
week, Lord, I pray that they
will see, Lord, the blessing
that you blessed Obed-Edom
with, rest upon them, upon all
that they have, and upon their
entire household this week. In
the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ. And let it be said of
them, Lord, that they are so
blessed because of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Let it be a
testimony to many far and
wide. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
